Problem to convert Simple Press to bbpress

I use Simple Press 5.2.2 with WordPress 3.4.2, and I want to migrate my forum to bbpress 2.2.4 (on the same installation of WordPress).
My forum currently has 29 forums, 768 topics and 4324 posts, which is not so huge.

I try to migrate with the plugin “SimplePress 5 Import”, but the process stops at 490 :/ In fact it created the forums, a lot of the topics and posts, but it miss all the Reply.
I do not know where it blocks or why.

In addition, I can’t restart the process: I deleted all the bbpress forums, I even made a reset bbpress, but import around in circles in the first stage.

Once the conversion stops if you click ‘start’ again without changing any options does it then complete or stop at the same point?

If it does continuously stop in the same position open phpMyAdmin and open the `wp_options` table and bump the value stored in `_bbp_converter_start` by 1 and click start again, if it fails again bump this value again.

Same problem with me its stop at 200-299 , i am using wordperss 3.5.1 , bbpress 2.2.4 and Simple:press 5.2.2 same problem facing and about the data i wants to import is

Now its Converting topics (356 – 357) and “O” wait circle still revolving from 10 min its stop here 🙁 plz help how to fix that , 2 days before i did import every thing but the problem was UTF-8 , then i again i import the phpbb3 data in simplepress and try to import it from bbpress its give me hard time form that day to today ,

If it does continuously stop in the same position open phpMyAdmin and open the wp_options table and bump the value stored in _bbp_converter_start by 1 and click start again, if it fails again bump this value again.

If it hangs for 10 minutes, click ‘stop’, then click ‘start’ again it it should resume.

Sure let me try to phpBB importer , do you have any link for download the phpBB importer file (php file )? because i feel the phpbb importer file in bbpress have some issue thats why its not fetch all data from phpbb3 forum ,

I would like to switch from simple press to bbpress and am looking for the best way to import the data. Unfortunately, when I go to tools-forum-import, I do NOT have the option to import from simple press. Any idea why not?

I input the info found in the place you suggested above and when I ran it got this error.

WordPress database error: [Table ‘MyDatabaseName.users’ doesn’t exist]SELECT convert(users.ID USING "utf8") AS ID,convert(users.user_pass USING "utf8") AS user_pass,convert(users.user_login USING "utf8") AS user_login,convert(users.user_nicename USING "utf8") AS user_nicename,convert(users.user_email USING "utf8") AS user_email,convert(users.user_url USING "utf8") AS user_url,convert(users.user_registered USING "utf8") AS user_registered,convert(users.user_status USING "utf8") AS user_status,convert(users.display_name USING "utf8") AS display_name FROM users AS users LIMIT 0, 100

Hi. I’m not sure if it’s OK to resurrect an old thread, but I keep getting stuck when trying to convert from Simple Press to bbPress and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. The forum has ~2,000 topics and ~60,000 posts.

The conversion fails at a different point each time – forums and topics get converted, but replies stalls at around 4,000 – sometimes more, sometimes less. I tried raising the value in _bbp_converter_start but it made no significant difference. Between each import attempt I reset the bbPress forum (/wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-reset). My server is OK (Linode 2GB VPS, and I’m not getting any alerts that it’s overloaded).

One other thing I can’t ever get to work is “Purge all information from a previously attempted import”. I’ve let it run for over 48 hours in the past, and it was “Deleting previously converted data” with a number up into the tens of millions before I gave up on the process, and never actually starts converting. Has anyone else experienced similar issues?
